About Lada Granta FL wheels and tires: sizes and tips

One of the most modern creations of the AvtoVAZ concern is the Lada Granta car. The model first rolled off the assembly line in 2011 and is still in production. The number of cars sold in Russia and abroad is more than one hundred thousand - this indicates the popularity of the model among drivers, since its spectacular appearance, improved quality of all parts, increased engine life, as well as a relatively low price make it one of the most popular today . Of course, all related auto parts are widely represented on the market, and one of the main ones are wheel rims.

What wheels were installed on different bodies and configurations?

In four different configurations of Lada Granta, the diameter of the wheels used ranges from 13 to 16 inches:

• Standard - 5Jx13ET35, 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET
• Standard - 5Jx14ET35, 6Jx14ET
• Lux – 5Jx15ET35, 6Jx15ET
• Sport - 5Jx15ET35; in the sports package they also began installing wheels with a 16 radius and low-profile tires in size 195/50R

The first digital designation of these markings indicates the width of the rim in inches, the following indicators from 13 to 16 are the diameter of the disk, ET35 is the offset in mm.

The standard bolt pattern parameters are the same as those of old VAZ models - 4x98, that is, 4 holes, the centers of which are located along a circle with a diameter of 98 mm.

The diameter of the central hole according to the hub used is 58.6 mm. The most popular rim size among Lada Granta owners is considered to be R14, but many people prefer to drive on 15 rims.

Factory tire and wheel sizes

In most cases, the Lada Granta is equipped from the factory with “stamps” and light alloy wheels with a radius of 13 and 14 inches, but not so long ago they also began to be equipped with 15-inch wheels.

Lada Granta in the “Standard” and “Norma” configurations were equipped with 13 wheels. But you need to look at the size of the front brake disc, it can be 14th wheel radius

These durable steel wheels consist of a rim onto which the tire is directly attached. This entire structure, or rather its elements, are connected to each other using strong welding. And for convenience during operation, each disc contains information about the width of the rim profile, the moment of disc departure and other indicators.

After a certain point in time, the wheel rims will need to be checked for lateral and radial runout. Such maintenance should certainly be carried out at tire service stations or technical service stations. service.

The manufacturer advises installing wheels on the Lada Granta with a diameter (A) of 13 to 15 inches, with a profile width (B) of 5-6 J, with an offset (ET) of 33 to 38 millimeters, with the usual AvtoVAZ bolt pattern - PSD 4*98 ,DIA 58.5 .

All these parameters are most clearly presented in this picture.

A little about wheels

Tires - Today, these are one of the most high-tech products on which safe and comfortable movement by car directly depends.

There are a large number of tires on the market today from many different manufacturers. They consist of a frame, a protector and a breaker layer between them.

And also the toughest part of the tire - the bead, which is designed for reliable fixation and sealing on the rim.

Disks - In the modern world, a wheel includes two parts: the rim - which is a surface closed in a ring with sides on which the tire is fixed, and the disk - which is a support for the rim with holes for fixing the entire wheel to the hub, most often using bolts or hairpins. Currently, there are the following types of discs: stamped, cast, forged, composite and combined.

Standard disk sizes

When talking about wheel sizes, it is not enough to just mention their diameter. The remaining parameters are important for understanding whether they are comparable to the hub of a Lada Granta car, as well as what type of tire they are intended for.

For example, rim width is the size of the tire seat. The mounting hole pattern gives an idea of ​​whether additional spacer adapters will have to be used. As noted above, this car uses a 4x98 wheel installation scheme with a center of 58.6 mm.

Disc offset is a fairly important indicator, especially when using wide wheels. It reflects in mm the distance from the hub mounting pad to the plane that visually divides the rim into two rings of equal width. Disc diameters are measured in inches.

As standard, the Lada Granta is equipped with sizes R13, R14, R15. It is rare to find a model with 16 discs.

The table shows the recommended tire sizes and the corresponding wheels.

The numbers indicated through a fraction in the tire size mean: tire width / profile height as a percentage of the width. The Latin letter “R” indicates the type of tire - radial. The last numbers correspond to the diameter of the disk.

Replacing disks on Grant

Before you start replacing wheels on your Lada Grant, you should prepare the following set of tools:

• jack;
• wheel wrench;
• screwdriver;
• pressure gauge and compressor or pump (may be needed if the tire pressure is insufficient).

Disk replacement is required in various situations. The wheel may be worn out, it may collide with an obstacle and, as a result, damage or deformation may occur. Wheels are also changed when tires are punctured. If the tire is tubeless, you can pump it up and continue driving to the nearest tire shop.

A deformed disc affects the car's handling for the worse - it holds the road worse, and you can feel the steering wheel wobbling. Alloy wheels can break, causing the car to fly off the road or cause an accident. Tubeless tires on warped rims are leaky and bleed air through uneven rim flanges. Driving for a long time with such problems is undesirable, so the wheels must be removed and replaced. Before starting work, it is better to wear protective gloves:

1. The car must be installed on a level area and not interfere with other road users by its location if the replacement is carried out on the road. The procedure is dangerous to carry out on sharp turns, on ring roads, on descents or ascents. It is necessary to turn on the hazard warning lights and display a warning triangle, as required by traffic regulations.
2. Now you should take out the spare wheel if you are replacing a punctured or damaged element. On the Grant, the spare tire is located under the carpet in the luggage compartment. You need to lift the mat by the loop and remove the spare wheel mounting bolt; this usually does not require additional tools. After unscrewing the bolt, you can take out the spare tire and lower the trunk mat.
3. If a stamped disc with a decorative cap is installed, you will need to remove the cap first. If a decorative trim is installed, you will need to unscrew the fastening screw with a screwdriver and remove it. There may not be a cover or a cap, besides, there are different fastenings, the most common are plastic latches, you just need to pry them off with a screwdriver and remove the cover by moving it towards yourself.
4. Using a wheelbrace, loosen, but do not unscrew, the 4 mounting bolts. It may take considerable force to break them off.
5. After this, the jack is installed in special places under the thresholds. If the jack is standard, it should fit into the rib with its groove; if an alternative tool is used, it is recommended to place a board or mitten under it so as not to damage the anti-corrosion coating. When replacing on soft ground, be sure to place a board under the jack, otherwise it may fall off.
6. Now you can unscrew all four bolts and remove the wheel.

The new wheel is installed in the reverse order of removal. In this case, it is necessary that the guide pins coincide with the grooves on the disk if it is stamped. The bolts are tightened “by hand” so that the wheel is firmly held in place. Now you can lower the jack and tighten all the bolts crosswise. To prevent damage to the discs, it is not recommended to use metal pipes for reinforcement or tighten bolts by pressing the wrench with your foot.

It is important to tighten the bolts exactly crosswise - this way the disc snaps into place exactly in the center. If you tighten the left and then the right bolts first, the wheel may move slightly, which will lead to poor handling and wobbling of the steering wheel.

After installing the wheel, it is recommended to check the tire pressure using a pressure gauge and, if necessary, inflate them. All industrial compressors have a built-in pressure gauge, so the task is simplified.

Parameters of standard nuts

One of the main parameters of nuts or bolts is the shape of their pressing surface, which can have several varieties. When selecting the necessary nuts, you should proceed from the shape of the recess in the mounting hole of the disk.

Most often it is necessary to use bolts or nuts with a cone-shaped clamping part. As a rule, the cone has an angle of 60°. Sometimes such bolts may have a 1.3 mm head and a nose at the end of the nut.

The clamping surface of the fastener can also be flat or hemispherical. It is important that the clamping planes of the fastener and the disk fully correspond to each other. Otherwise, over time, as a result of strong dynamic loads, the attachment point will weaken. When choosing nuts with closed heads, you should pay attention to their length.

If the pin prematurely rests on its inner part, then it will not be possible to fully tighten it. Also, nuts that are too short may not leave room for the socket head of the impact wrench. Some wheel models only allow the use of hex or star nuts.

When choosing bolts, you need to consider their length. A reliable connection can only be achieved if the bolt is screwed in to the entire threaded thickness of the hub. However, if it is too long, then when the car moves, such fasteners will begin to cling to internal structures.

Ideally, the tip of the bolt should only protrude a couple of threads when fully tightened. Bolts are made only from steel, but nuts can be steel, aluminum or titanium.

How can I find out about the disk parameters myself?

The technical passport of a particular car contains information not only about what factory wheels it has, but also contains instructions for installing them. If this useful guide is not nearby, then you can arm yourself with a ruler and visually determine the characteristics of interest.

Which is better Grant or Grant liftback

If you need to choose 15-inch wheels, you must have knowledge regarding such parameters.

1. “ET” (offset) - denotes the numerical expression of the distance between two planes, or more precisely: the surface of contact with the hub and the vertical plane of symmetry of a particular product. The indicated value is intended to indicate how much the disk is able to “peek out” from under the wing. The parameter affects the degree of stability of the car. Typically, the numerical criterion for overhang starts at 40 mm.
2. “DIA” is the diameter of the hole that allows the wheel to fit onto the hub surface. When choosing a product, you should take into account the corresponding hub parameter. The measurement is carried out in millimeters.
3. Bolt pattern (in our version 4x98). The first number in the formula means the numerical composition of the fastening bolts, and the second is the diameter, on the line of which the centers of the holes for fasteners are located.
4. Disc width. This ordinary characteristic is usually expressed in inches. For LADA Granta the following values ​​are valid: 5; 5.5 and 6.

Armed with the above information, even an inexperienced owner will be able to select a suitable set of disks, thereby replacing the factory disks.

The next thing to consider might be the type of 15-inch wheels you plan to purchase. Let us remind you that these products are forged and cast (we do not take into account stamped ones). Here the main criterion will be the owner’s budget.

What drives can be installed

It is clear that any car manufacturer, just like AvtoVAZ, always recommends installing only its original sets of spare parts. But replacing a wheel rim with non-standard samples has long been considered completely commonplace.

Often such a replacement can even improve handling characteristics and reduce financial costs. The wrong approach to this issue can lead to the repair of suspension elements and the entire chassis of the car.

Owners of Grants sometimes notice that the standard set with winter tires copes with its functions worse than the less wide non-standard options. Wide wheels are prone to skidding and hydroplaning.

Regardless of the reasons why the discs are replaced, inexpensive stamped products, cast or forged options can be installed on the Lada Granta. If the stamp is made only of steel, then the material for the production of light alloy wheels can be aluminum, titanium and magnesium alloys.

Stamped wheels, despite their unattractive appearance, are in high demand due to their practicality. Firstly, this is the cheapest replacement option, and secondly, with strong impacts such a product will only bend, which can always be fixed, and the unattractive appearance can be easily hidden with inexpensive plastic caps.

But their high weight reduces the dynamics of vehicle acceleration and increases fuel consumption, which often tips the scales towards the purchase of cast and forged wheels, which, due to their lightness and high thermal conductivity, improve dynamics and contribute to faster cooling of the brake elements. Products made from titanium alloy have the most attractive appearance and have the best strength, but they are also the most expensive of this product segment.

Their aluminum counterparts are more popular. They are not as expensive as titanium, but in terms of strength they meet all safety requirements, and, moreover, they look great. The disadvantages of cast wheels include their worse strength characteristics than stamped steel options and high cost. A strong blow can permanently damage the disk.

Lada Granta wheels

Lada Granta is a pretty new car. The first Grants appeared a couple of years ago and did not arouse much trust or interest, as the very ambiguous reputation of the manufacturer itself was reflected.

However, at the moment the Lada Granta is the best-selling car in all regions of the Russian Federation in its price segment.

In addition to the growing demand for the car itself, interest in consumables and car components, in particular, wheel rims, began to increase. The insufficient quality of roads in the Russian Federation leads to rapid wear or deformation of the disks, and yet choosing a high-quality sample for the Grant is not so easy!

What kind of disks can be installed?

The manufacturer recommends installing only the original set of disks on the Grant, however, many drivers often resort to installing analogues of non-standard parameters.

In the case of installing non-original rims or tires, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the vehicle: with the correct selection, the car’s handling will improve and the cost of components will decrease, if incorrectly, you will have to buy other new parts or repair the chassis and suspension in the near future.

This is interesting! Drivers operating the Lada Granta have more than once noticed that the original set of wheels for winter tires does not always successfully cope with the assigned tasks. Many drivers recommend choosing wheels for the winter with the narrowest form factor possible, which should have a positive effect on the vehicle’s handling.

Is it advisable to pay attention to alloy wheels?

Casting has long been popular, including 15-inch versions for LADA Granta. Compared to analogues, these products have several advantages:

• a lot of various offers on models and manufacturers;
• light weight, providing a slight increase in dynamic capabilities and reduced fuel consumption;
• more affordable cost compared to forged analogues;
• the use of corrosion-resistant alloys in the design, which allows the product to provide a decent service life.
